Warrior Update<br />
OLPH girls volleyball wins another league championship<br />
Submitted content<br />
Even without their accomplished<br />
and longtime<br />
coach Nancy Speers available<br />
to guide them, the<br />
Our Lady of Perpetual<br />
Help eighth-grade girls<br />
volleyball team held off a<br />
spirited Faith, Hope and<br />
Charity of Winnetka team<br />
to earn another Council II-<br />
3A championship on Nov.<br />
3 at Regina Dominican<br />
High School.<br />
Filling in admirably<br />
for Speers, were assistant<br />
coach Ruthie Van Kirk and<br />
seventh-grade coaches Bre<br />
Reveley and Briana Flanagan.<br />
In a match that went<br />
three sets, the Warriors defeated<br />
the Bulldogs 25-18,<br />
18-25, 25-19.<br />
“Having coached them<br />
last year, we knew they<br />
were a great group of girls<br />
and it was fun to see them<br />
finish with an exciting<br />
win,” Reveley said.<br />
This was the third<br />
League title for the Warriors<br />
in four years.<br />

Warrior Update<br />
OLPH cross-country teams qualify for state<br />
Submitted content<br />
After their sectional meet in Wadsworth<br />
was postponed by the weather, the Our<br />
Lady of Perpetual Help cross-country<br />
teams decided to practice in the rain back<br />
in Glenview.<br />
According to head coach, Dave Zimmer,<br />
it was one of the best practices of the<br />
year, as the runners were motivated and<br />
ready to run, despite the conditions.<br />
Apparently, the dedication and extra<br />
work paid off, as both the boys and girls<br />
team sprinted to first place finishes at the<br />
rescheduled sectional on Oct. 9 at Millburn<br />
Middle School. The teams were<br />
paced with top-10 finishes by Emma<br />
Burke, Sophie Goldberg, Tara Wirtschoreck<br />
and Teegan Browe.<br />
This is the first time in school history<br />
that both teams have qualified, and now<br />
they’ll look to continue their season with<br />
a strong finish at the State Championship<br />
at Maxwell Park in Normal this Saturday<br />
morning.<br />
